Chairman's Message
The St Lawrence Fair is one of the oldest traditional Village Fairs in the United Kingdom. Granted a Royal Charter in 1313 by King Edward I, the Charter allows one Fair each year to be held to celebrate St. Lawrence, the Patron Saint of Hurstpierpoint. It is thought that the Fair has taken place every year with the exception of the years encompassing the two World Wars.
The Fair is now run by a volunteer committee, who endeavour to raise enough money to run the fair every year. Each year we make a donation to a local charity, in addition many other charities and voluntary groups benefit from the fair's activities. Last year in total a substantial amount was raised by all groups including the local scouts, WI and other charities. Many of our local charities and benfactors can be found on or links page. This site is a guide to the Hurspierpoint St. Lawrence Fair, please visit us not only on Fair day but at one of the many other events going on during the 10 days prior to the 5th July 2008. We look forward to seeing you there.
